Very Best of Cream [Japanese Import]

Search: Badge
by: Cream

Release Date December 05, 2007
If this really were the best of Cream it would consist almost entirely of live tracks whereas in fact there is only one included here, the celebrated 'Crossroads'. In any case 'Wrapping Paper' and 'Anyone For Tennis' obviously have no business being here as 'the best of' but are here simply because they happened to be released as singles, more because of Cream's management than Cream themselves. On the other hand of course this sort of compilation traditionally rounds up things that are not included on the main albums thus insuring sales to completists.
I really wish they had not chosen to take 'I'm So Glad' from 'Fresh Cream' as this does sound very artificial especially when compared with the amazing live version on 'Goodbye Cream'. ... Read More:

Complete Clapton [VINYL]

by: Eric Clapton

Release Date December 17, 2007
My son knowing I am and always will be a huge Clapton fan, bought this for my last birthday (I don't mean my LAST bithday, I am hoping to have many more!) I would not have gone and purchased this myself, as within my CD collection I have all of these tracks and could have made up this compilation myself. Having said that it is a good collection (how many Clapton collections have there been over the years?). The two discs represent a reasonable selection of the mans work, although I would have liked some of his early stuff with John Mayall and even The Yardbirds, perhaps Blind Faith, just to round the collection out. I played it in the car and it is a great driving companion, even though I know all the tracks well, thay are great songs and just remind ... Read More:

Those Were The Days

Search: Badge
by: Cream

Release Date June 02, 2008
This could so easily have been a truly complete collection of all the authorised Cream material but instead of giving us all the live tracks they wasted space with ex-demo tracks of marginal importance. The omission of one of the live versions of 'Politician', from 'Goodbye Cream', one of their finest performances, is unforgivable and means that it is obvious that no-one new to Cream should buy this as a short cut to a complete collection. After all it's not even cheap to buy the (almost) 'complete' Cream this way. It's more economical to buy all 6 original albums which are now cheap and easy to get. But there are two other ommissions as well.
If they wanted to give everyone a reason to buy this set they should have gone about putting together this compilation ... Read More:

After Midnight: Live

Search: Badge
by: Eric Clapton

Release Date August 22, 2006
This is a very good album, Claptons solos on these songs are excellent, if you are a fan then you must buy it although it is a bit pricy you can always get it second hand or something. I love the way Slowhand just plays something entirely different at the beggining of songs like 'Layla' a guitar rhythm which is really slow making you think he is doing a ballad then he just jumps right in to the distinctive rythmic start of the song.
